what does phrase means
A phrase is a string of words that on their own cannot stand as a complete sentence. A phrase is usually a prepositional phrase (introduced by a preposition); prepositional phrases in turn are usually also either adverbial or adjectival phrases because they modify a verb or a noun in the main clause.
Example: "His mother was angry at him". "...at him" is a prepositional phrase, introduced by the preposition "at". In this case it is also an adverbial phrase, because it modifies the verb "was angry". The prepositional phrase contains no verb, which is why it is a phrase instead of a clause.
Example: "He lost his backpack with all of his schoolwork." "...with all of his schoolwork" is an prepositional phrase, introduced by the preposition "with". But in this case it is an *adjectival* phrase because it modifies the noun "backpack", instead of modifying a verb.
Compare to this: "His mother was angry at him so he ran to his room." "...he ran to his room" is a clause, not a phrase, because by itself it is a complete sentence (it has a subject and a verb and can stand alone by itself as a sentence). In this case it is joined to the main clause by the coordinating conjunction "so".

What does Macbeth mean Bring forth men children only?
In Act 1, Scene 7 of Shakespeare's "Macbeth," Lady Macbeth expresses her desire for her husband to only father male children. She believes that men are seen as stronger and more capable of ruling than women, and she wants her husband to only produce sons who can inherit power and continue their legacy. This line reflects the gender norms and expectations of the time, where male heirs were often preferred over female ones for succession and power.
